How to get to sleep before starting a new job

We have all been there, you finally land your dream
job and it gets to the night before but you can't sleep! So many
questions are running through your head: Are the people going to be
friendly? Will I be able to find the office? Where is the
toilet?!

Here are our top five tips to get a good night's
sleep:

Treat it like any other night

Go to bed at your normal bedtime as getting into bed
earlier can cause anxiety and restlessness. Keeping the same
bedtime helps your body stay on schedule, allowing you to feel
prepared for the day ahead.

Keep your room cool

If your body is too hot it can add stress physically
to an already restless night. Studies have found that bedroom
temperature should be between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit for
optimal sleep. Open your windows or use a fan to cool you down and
regulate your body's temperature.

Get organised before bed

Dwelling on making sure everything is ready is going
to keep you awake. Before you tuck yourself in, make sure you are
organised and have made arrangements for the next morning. Try
practicing your commute to reduce any additional anxiety.

Avoid screen glare

Looking at your smart phone, tablet or computer and
watching television can make you wide awake before bed. Light
reduces your body's production of melatonin which makes you fall
asleep, especially the blue light emitted from the devices, so
drift off reading a good old fashioned book ahead.

And last but not least..

Take a bath, refresh and relax!

Soaking in a bath tub relaxes all those tense muscles
and increases mindfulness. The hot water can help calm your mind
and relax your body.
